Service club celebrates Halloween
Service club celebrates Halloween with children of the Saint Elizabeth shelter
By Patricia Foxx
Xavierite Editor
Every year one can see students
setting off from school with
food and festive costumes. They are
going to a Halloween party that all
Saint Xavier students are invited to.
All that is asked is some of their
time and perhaps a donation of hot
dogs.
The Service Club sponsors
this party and have been doing so
for over ten years. This year the
Political Science Forum participated
for their service project, even
though the usual Service Club event
they participate in is the AIDS walk.
The Service Club and others
who volunteered went to the Saint
Elizabeth Catholic Worker and
threw a Halloween party for the
children there.
The Saint Elizabeth Catholic
Worker is a shelter for homeless
women and children. Families stay
there between four to six months.
The goal of the shelter is to help
women to become self-sufficient so
that they can move out and support
their families and themselves inde-
"The shelter is
very interesting
and eye opening.
The kids are wonderful. The
mothers are great.
It's a wonderful
time."

"The shelter is very interesting
and eye opening. The kids are

Its a wonderful time," said Ree
Badwan, SXU student.
The Halloween party for the
kids featured face painting, as well
as a dinner of hot dogs and treat
bags.
The kids also received coloring
books and crayons. The SXU
students as well as the kids dressed
up, and the students took the kids

out to the playground and spent time
frolicking and just having quality
time with them.
"It's a place you can go that
makes your heart tingle inside. The
children really appreciate us being
here," said Lina Ziadah, SXU student.
The children did seem to appreciate
having them there. "I like
my school and I like the party and I
love Lina," said Jasmine, child.
Grayland, another child, said,
"Thanks to the community for
helping us out, and I hope Al Gore wins
the election because we get to vote
at our school. Thanks to Dr. Jim
Murray for letting us vote . He's
been so helpful to all of the kids in
the Chicago Public Schools."

Concert band honors Aaron Copland
Concert band starts off a series of performances by honoring one of America's greatest composers
By Patricia Foxx
Xavierite Editor
Interested in famous composers
like Aaron Copland, or learning
that Gioacchino Rossini, a famous
composer whose music
people have heard on some of their
favorite cartoons, is also a cook?
Then join Concert Band or at least
come to their concerts.
Concert Band kicked off a
series of their concerts on Sunday,
October 29th, in McGuire Hall.
Special guest Charles Finton, trumpet,
and Erica Burtner, English horn,
played along with SXU students in
the Concert Band, with Myron
McReynolds directing.
The concert was called
"Something Borrowed," and featured
music from the great composers.
It commemorated Aaron
Copland, a great American Composer,
on the 100th anniversary of
his birth. The compositions performed
by the Concert Band that
Copland helped to arrange were
"Quiet City" and "Down a Country
Lane."
"I was pleased by the audience turnout,
and the soloists,
Charles and Erica, in "Quiet City"
were outstanding," said
McReynolds.

Band/Iyer.
Copland composed ballets
and won a Pulitzer Prize for music
in 1945. After 1970, Copland
stopped composing, although he
continued to lecture and conduct
into the 1980s. He died December
2, 1990.
"I am looking forward to the
Christmas, because all four ensembles
are coming together to play
ajoint Christmas Concert. Copland
is one of my favorite composers. It
was a fun concert," said Lee
VanSickle, Concert Band member,
of the concert and future activities
